WordPress sites face unique QA challenges: theme updates break styling, plugin conflicts cause layout issues, and responsive behavior varies across devices. Here's how to automate QA for WordPress.
The WordPress Plugin
QAProof offers a native WordPress plugin that integrates directly with your admin dashboard. Install, activate, and connect your API key—no code required.
What to Test

- Homepage and key landing pages
- Post templates and archive pages
- WooCommerce product and checkout pages
- Custom post types and taxonomies
- Mobile responsive behavior
Testing After Updates

- After every theme update
- Before activating new plugins
- Weekly for production sites
- Daily for frequently-updated sites

Our WordPress plugin includes specialized tests:
- Gutenberg block rendering validation
- Widget area integrity checks

WordPress site owners using QAProof report 90% fewer design issues after theme updates.
